We have been meeting at our home on a regular basis with a small group for the purpose of exploring and developing our paranormal senses and psychic abilities: a Psychic Development Circle.  Our two small poodles, Natalie and Euen, enjoy these evenings and are included as part of the Circle.

Animals are known to be sensitive to stimuli beyond the range of our human abilities.  In addition, as with children, they have no preconceived notions about what is or is not possible.  Usually the dogs lay still, either asleep or quietly attentive.  Sometimes however, they perk up as if in awareness of a new Presence.  Euen is timid by nature and tends to sit and watch, hoping that he won’t be noticed.  Natalie is a different story.  Her little ten-pound body contains an intelligent and confident spirit, and the soul of a mighty hunter.  She is also almost cat-like in her sense of curiosity and love of play.

The following pictures illustrate a sequence from one of our Development Circle meetings several years ago.  The room was dark with one candle burning.  The photos were taken with a digital camera in auto focus mode with the flash on.

Natalie and Euen have become aware of a Presence. Natalie is curious, but Euen is worried.

There appears to be a tiny orb on her friend's lap (arrow).

A closer look. Next to the ring finger.

Oh look! It's under the chair.

Another closeup.

Where did it go?

It's behind you, Natalie.

What a tease.

Natalie returned to her spot, but remained watchful for the rest of the evening.

Natalie has since passed on, but her presence lingers.
